It's refreshing to hear someone admit that his success wasn't solely based on his hard work but that the bar was lower and allowed for more people to develop their human potential.

I’m glad he admitted to NOT being qualified yet still got an opportunity for school.

I have listened to this man speak 3 or 4 times now on KZfaq. From occasion to occasion, he recites his info clearly, and precisely, and it doesn't change. He speaks with clarity, precision, and earnesty. And he speaks with evident, clear passion for the topic. As a 22 year old man in America, this boomer is fighting on my behalf and I will continue to support him every second. As of today, while I remain vigilant, I see Scott Galloway as a genuine person. Somebody else already said it, give him more airtime.

Finally someone who understands the issues through and through. Scott needs way more airtime.

Scott Galloway is THE model of leadership we need in the world.

It’s insane how on point he is

If employers complain there is a shortage of trained workers, train more people. Dude makes sense.

the older generation no longer care about creating a better world that only their children will experience, instead exploit it as much as you can before you go

This guy is a rockstar. I met him last month at his book signing. Few people speak this much truth.

Finally someone is clearly articulating the rot in society.

Realness, intelligence and anger. It wells up beautifully in this man. It gives me hope

I’m South African, now living in Canada. Scott Galloway is becoming my new HERO!

As a person that has a Masters license in Plumbing, I want to point out a number of states require 4 years of schooling at night, along with 4 years of 8 hours a day working to just become a Journeyman plumber. This also true of a number of trades. We don't just show up and are trained on the job and i hope Scott Galloway understands this. The reason it takes 4 years, is there is a lot to learn both in school and in field working. One of the greatest blessings that has been for working in a trade, is can fix 95% of any issues in my home. I really like Scott take on where we are going. Average age of a tradesman is 45. If people think plumbers are expensive now, wait until there is the work force has shrunk more and the cost of labor has really gone up. Average journeyman plumber is making between $40 to $60 per hour depending on the state they work.

He's actually a professor I would be happy to have if I were to study marketing in college

I am 42 and finally able to buy a house becouse the cost is so big compared to my parents generation. I am even saving extra for my children so they can buy a house later in life. This man is spot on. Much respect from western Europe.

Thank you finally a boomer that understand because he actually did his research 😅

I’m 33 and I feel like I’ve gained more insight into what the wealthy are doing and why in the last hour, watching Scott Galloway speak across various videos, than I have in the last 20 years of listening to politicians consistently distract people with misdirection and lies. Bravo Scott.

Hurray for pointing out the need for vocational training/certifications!! SO many areas of our society struggle mightily to fill the need for skilled workers!! I’ve observed the respect that vocationally-trained individuals get in Germany. They make a good living and people don’t give them grief for not going to Uni! Our society (American) needs to adjust our attitude and not be such snobs!

A boomer that actually cares about future generations is a rare sight.

This dude is absolutely torching the contemporary liberal orthodoxy, as a liberal. Finally. Finally. Conservatives can talk to we’re blue in the face, but until heroes like this step up, nothing will change.

His TED Talk was so on point!

Ban investor purchases of single family homes. Period. Even small mom and pops. No more investors buying single family homes

I seriosuly do not understand the hate revolving around Scott, he's so spot on it hurts!

Mr Galloway has it right. We need to make things easier for young people and encourage a better future for them. Im 72, and my kids have done well, but I see many that arent. Those who don't succeed in life only cost us in heartbreak, grief, and loads of money. Whats wrong with thinking about our young people for a change.

This is the kind of perspective we need to bring to the table. It encourages discussion across the aisle.

My man here admitting that it's an intergenerational / class centric conflict of interest in the western world today. He's saying the quiet part out loud and should absolutely be lauded for having the courage to do so.

I'm 33, at 18 my mom told me to go to college or get out. I was forced to go years before I was ready and now I can't go back because I'm $10,000 in debt. I've tried 6 times to go back to college and no one will accept me just because I have debt I can't pay back. I'm currently IT for NASA.

I really hope he’s setting himself up for a presidential run.

Respect the way Scott thinks these issues through

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

Run for President Scott, you have my vote.

Actually our most lucrative businesses need to apprentice young Americans. We need to incentivise these programs without all the crazy college debt.

Scott thank you for paying your taxes!! That's a flex I can appreciate.

Nothing is going to change.....,

THANK YOU for speaking for the millions of young people who have no voice or influence.

This is the best thing I’ve seen in ages

This is the first time I’ve seen him mention ranked choice or a different voting method. And mentioning how little younger people’s votes are without money as leverage. It’s amazing seeing him dig deeper and evolving his message. He may be the only adult that understands the young population. (Look into STAR voting please).

Galloway knows that training in the trades is a great path.

6:33 - NAILED IT!!!!! the meaning of living is not for us but our children!!!

It's shameful how the younger generations have been forced to work their butts off, done the right thing in getting educated or skilled, and may still struggle to obtain a middle class life. Further to that is the investment in to the very young- toddlers and k-12. Its shameful that you have to have rich parents to have a shot at a comfortable life. Older folks need to wake up and really understand the legacy they are leaving their kids and grandkids.

"Affirmative action is amazing. It should just be based on need and adversity" yessssss.

👏 Scott hits the nail on the head! It's time for society to address the unfair economic treatment of young people and advocate for policies that promote intergenerational equity and opportunity. Let's work towards a future where everyone has a fair shot at success and prosperity.

He hits the nail on the head. I dropped out of school at 17 and started working. It took me approximately 10 years to get to the same level as my peers who went to college. However I have no debt, which enabled me to buy a house where a lot of people I know struggle. I feel I do not have much to look forward to in the future just like the rest of my generation. We have all been told go to college to win at life, yet most college graduates work mediocre jobs for mediocre pay and people who actually learned a trade get paid much better due to simple supply and demand. The world needs mechanics, plumbers, carpenters, nurses. We cannot live in a world of just doctors and lawyers. I hope it will get better but I am quite confident things will get much worse before they get better

@ 7:00 he says the U.S. spends the least per capita of any nation in the West. The National Center for Education Statistics lists expenditures per ffull-time-equivalent student for elementary and secondary education by OECD countries. Luxembourg in 2019 spent $25,600 per student and is the highest spender. Second is Norway, spending $18,000 per student. Tied for third place is Austria & S. Korea, spending $15,500 per student. Fourth is the U.S. spending $15,500 per student. Trailing behind is Iceland, Belgium, Australia, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Denmark, Canada, France, Finland, Italy, Czech, Japan, Portugal, Slovenia, Ireland, Spain, Israel, etc...

Something to add onto the young people starting behind because of student loan debt. It also happens with healthcare because having a baby is so expensive and medical debt is another thing that is exacerbating the problem for young people just trying to do normal life events (going to college, having a family, buying a house)

I agree with mainly everything this guy says. The only thing I’ll add is that we have relied too much on the government to solve our problems but it will be in our homes where the future is made secure. The government takes more and power because we have depended on them more and more to fix what has been the result of the decay in our morality.

Galloways message resonates because every word of it is true.

We need people who are more concerned about their children and grandchildren than they are about themselves.

Amen Brother! Preach!

I agree with everything he’s saying except Social Security. I have worked since I was 16 years old and and I am owed every dime. This being said, wealthy people who don’t need it should not take it. Scott Galloway is extremely wealthy so he doesn’t understand that the vast majority of American seniors need Social Security to survive.

Great Interview, spot on & unwavering. reminds me of the Jeff Daniel's monologue from HBO's newsroom pilot.

people need to stop striving to become wealthy and a millionaire. this greedy mindset is the number one problem with the world and why younger generations are being neglected.

College should be free , also Trade Schools . This benefits everyone . We need more Nurses and Dentists and Doctors .

I gew up extremely poor. My parent 's income was counted against me when applying for financial aid, even though they weren't helping me at all with college or any other assistance. So I had to wait til my late 20s to go to college and I still haven't been able to afford to finish my degree. I'm still paying off my loans from my AA. My friend's dad was a contractor. They had a swimming pool in their backyard. She got a Master's degree for free because she's a part of an ethnic minority.

My college tuition was raised by $5,000 during my time as a student. I pressed them time and time again to release the budget because they removed extra-circulars, but didn't add any new programs. They told me as a private university they didn't need to release any finances. It was incredibly frustrating.

A typical student on our State U campuses is paying $3k+ a month for tuition and shared housing/food and generally is lucky to make $1000 a month in income from a student or retail job.

I am soooo happy that there are more and more people out there being honest

Social security to seniors isn’t a gift. It is returning the money of people who gave it plus the interest that money earned.

Yess! We from the younger generation are frustrated. I'm honestly upset that our two only options for President are just a few years away from 80. These men are from a different era. How in the world could they understand how the working class today feels?

My husband just became a journeyman electrician and makes over 150k a year. He got an accounting degree and left that field after only a couple months. Trades is important and good skill to have.

I knew GenZrs were checked out and gone when i saw the videos that surfaced online after the travis scott concert... Seeing kids singing and dancing around scores of dead bodies(their own peers), and seeing they are that desensitized to death, without even being in a war zone, is horrifying. Im legitimately fearful of what America is going to be like in the near future.

Great speech, great thoughts! Thanks for talking for young people's future

From personal experience, I’ve seen the student debt completely ignored at faculty and admin meetings in post secondary. We know that students are graduating in massive debt. We know that their chosen arts degree won’t provide them the skills to pay the loans back. Here’s an average meeting: Land acknowledgement Vote on additional arts classes Vote on changes to administrative rules. Then DEI discussion End with concerns for our jobs in light of the government’s changes to higher ed. We don’t talk about students unless it’s “student experience”. I had student loans, it took me 22 years at 500 a month to pay off. The majority of faculty never had student debt.

Amazing guest. I wish I had half as many keen insights and 1/10 of his communication skills

BRAVO!

The reality is a lot of these universities have incredible administrative bloat. I got into a public university that had a $1B endowment (tbf a lot went to research) and barely had any scholarships available. I had to withdraw and go to a tier 2 university. There is so much cost cutting that could happen at most universities that would make it so students don't have to fork over so much money. But a lot of universities operate as a research and hedge fund facility.

Scott Galloway is changing the world for the better

Clear vision on economics - clouded vision on Gaza/Israel situation.

Would absolutely love to see relevant analysis like these in my country India. It is in the interest of the powers that be to keep the people blind

yeah this feels right.. it is scary, I see my generation getting discouraged .. but getting resentful distracts me while I need to focus on the opportunities I still do have. I don't know that the changes he suggests would ever happen! what if no one is coming to the rescue

My favorite part is how he can speak truth with conviction and at the end of the day nothing changes. It’s like he is a modern civil rights advocate - he speaks on behalf of a generation’s economic situation present and future - I my assumption is since finances are involved those who know they should do what’s necessary and right, suddenly have selective hearing 😅

Figured these points out years ago and got a masters in Ecological design and away from tech! Rain tanks, solar energy, greywater etc these are the systems and the jobs needed. They address many issues brought up including obesity and purposeful work for men. ❤

Great perspective that includes personal story points

He's on to something but he really didn't answer any of the question of : Why should we push more people into colleges if there is a surplus ''education'' crisis? That question went straight over Galloway's head. The bottom line is : half the problem is not that people don't have access to college, it's that too many are afforded to think they do without reasonable payoff for degrees that are worth nothing and are only ideological indoctrination. Those useless degrees are of course the most profitable for universities because there is no fundamental requirement and investment required into selling them, only having someone brain dead enough to teach it. The other half of the college problem is that for them to have such massive endowments, they need to surcharge students by massive margins, otherwise there is no money to pour into it. Here's a suggestion : An institution receiving taxpayer's money should not be able to be operated like a for profit hedge fund selling classes and taxpayer's money needs to come with very strict strings attached related to pricing and the usefulness of degrees. Student loans should also be directly tied to the ability of the borrower to repay using their degree, it is insanity that anyone could take on any amount of debt for any type of degree. Here's another suggestion : Massively fund trade schools with the same principles. There needs to be much more thought put into the priorities of what type of education actually matters and pushing people into those avenues instead of selling some liberal arts degrees. This is only covering education though. Half the other problems Galloway mentionned have nothing to do with education and he definitely has a point about the generational wealth transfer from young to old. Society has become a ponzi scheme for the old.

As a millennial I’ve found the most peace by finding purpose and happiness in life. My friends who have chased money and success, it’s very draining and you may hate yourself when you don’t succeed, when it’s mostly a problem with the world, not you. I don’t make the most money but I help people everyday, I don’t work under crazy politics, I help my community and I’m part of the change I want to see in the world. My husband has a similar job as well. We don’t sit at desks building technology , making tons of money by harming the world. I rather be broke and make a positive impact , than make a bunch of money doing something I disagree with. I don’t have a house, my future is uncertain, but feeling purpose and love for my job everyday heals my soul and makes it much easier to navigate this collapsing society we live in.

I can tell you from experience that going to a top university doesn’t necessarily mean you get the best education. I went to a top 5 (UK) university and a university ranked 30-ish because they were the few ones offering the course I wanted to do. It was so much better, smaller classes, better lecturer attention and it felt like they cared about my performance whereas at the top tier university, I was another one of 150+ students in my class, the lecturers had no real interest in their students (to be fair they have a lot of pressure to research, publish…etc). I learned more in the lower ranked university than the top one but undoubtedly it’s having the top tier university on my CV that landed me the job interviews. So now when people say to me, I went to this prestigious university it means nothing to me. It says more to me where you started, what you did and where you are now. It really is that simple.

I’m gen x and I felt screwed over by society 20 years ago.

Wow. I'm sending this by link to my kids. Amazing 👏.

Keep preaching the truth Scott! Bravo

Absolutely right Go Cal!

Ai jobloss is the only thing I worry about anymore. Anyone else feel the same?

Refreshing

Wow. You have made many excellent points !

This is wonderful

Younger millennial. Bit the bullet and bought my home in 2021, because it was so much more expensive to rent. Previous owners bought it for $250k ten years ago. Did zero work or updating on it. I got it for $700k and that was UNDER the market value. It's not a great house, its four walls and a roof and has a furnace. I'm never gonna retire or have a kid and I'll be housepoor forever, but at least I'm not renting from a corporate slum lord, I guess? I should have bought a home in 2009 like all my elderly coworkers keep saying, but I was literally a child so that makes it a teensy bit more difficult. So yeah, what's the point of anything?

Sorry, the LAST thing we need is 10,000 more Harvard grads. I need a plumber. An electrician. An HVAC guy. An auto tech.

Awesome. Thank you.

Tnx

Prof G, I am happy you exist. No, seriously I AM HAPPY YOU EXIST. Well articulated!

Scott's an academic and he paid $14M in income tax? Wow.

Scott. You might be my favourite person on the internet.

Excellent

Please run for President! I've never heard so much truth spoken in one interview.

I'm 78 and work with millennials and GenZs. They are much more concerned with their love relationships than with politics or even paying the rent -- just as I was at that age. Soon enough paying the rent and their place in society will add to their concerns. This is my first introduction to Scott Galloway and I am deeply appreciative of his compassion and take on reality. My faith in the ability of the young ones to take on the world we've given them, for better and for worse, is stronger than my fears. Let us have strong shoulders to carry them onwards.

Good work on getting the live longer and prosper All-Star Scott Galloway 🎉

Last minutes are pure gold and real talk!

This interviewer is enraging

Scott Galloway for President

LOVE THIS GUY!!!

3:39 Galloway hits it on the nail as to why there's so much unnecessary (in my opinion) strife over college admissions, who gets in and who doesn't get in. Since colleges, politicians have made the consciousnesses decision to ensure that the number of college admissions doesn't keep up with population growth in a society where students are drilled from day 1 of kindergarten it's college or bust, everyone is fighting over a shrinking slice of the pie.
